Syracuse, N.Y. As Central New York school teachers get vaccinated against the coronavirus, parents are wondering what that means for their children.
When can students return to in-person instruction for everyone five days a week? When will remote learning end?
Medical experts, state school officials and several Central New York superintendents don’t think that will happen this spring. They say fall is the most likely time when schools can return to in-classroom learning for everyone.

Syracuse, N.Y. John Mannion, a Democrat from Geddes, was sworn in last week as a newly elected state senator a couple of weeks before most of his other senatorial colleagues will take their oaths for the upcoming two-year term.
That’s because Mannion is filling a Senate seat that’s been empty since April. State election law allows him to fill the seat this year, even though the term he was elected to doesn’t begin until Jan. 1, according to Senate spokesman Gary Ginsburg.
